You don't need a miracle to believe in God, fine. Almost like me,only that you are determined not to believe even if there was a miracle. You'd rather explain and assume it away than believe because you don't want to believe. Belief would shatter your world literally, but let's dismiss it as insignificant, right. Properly said, you don't want God to exist.
You don't get to be the one to tell me what I want or don't want, you should ask and not jump into conclusions. That said whether or not I don't want a god to exist is irrelevant because reality does not work based on my whims. If a god exists, it will exist whether or not I want it to. What I do want is to know if a god exists and how such knowledge can be established unequivocally.

When you say no record, record where? How many amputees records do you have for instance? Are you an amputee?
Again, God heals. Also you don't primarily need healing to believe in a god or God. You are a witness to that i believe. God doesn't promise to heal everyone, He's not father christmas remember. His own purpose and priority is different from yours. He has promised no sickness and total health in the world to come. The door to that world is significantly accessible to all.
No record because we have repeatedly ask for such a record and nobody has provided it.

You make an even stronger case for the uselessness of belief. According to you he will do what he will do so why do you need to believe?

Sorry i cut in!

Though most religionists today are of the opinion that God must always perform miracles on their behalf before they subject themselves to Him. Their thinking is just the same as yours, i'm sure all these arguments won't come up if you have a disabled in your family that you know very well from birth suddenly got cured and is completely healed in any place. You will certainly believe in the God that does such for your family.

But the true God doesn't operate like that. He planned to heal all infirmities once for all time but since the Israelites were His special people whom He wanted to use for His global campaign He kept performing wonders in their midst so that they'll be confident to take his message throughout the earth. The message is not about the laws he gave their forefathers in the wilderness, that was just a covenant to distinguish them from all other nations.
The message they will PREACH and TEACH other nations will be brought to them by a perfect man who will serve as an exemplary (role model) for all people, this role model may be difficult to identify so God will empower him to perform all the wonderful things He (God) promised on a small scale within Israel and finally this role model will be killed, now God also promised that all those who are dead will be resurrected. So this role model must rise from the dead to instill in the minds of his disciples that all the promises God made to the world through Israel will surely be fulfilled.
That's why miracles were recorded in the Bible.
But misinformed Churchgoers want God to solve all their problems even before His promise of a Kingdom (Government) is fulfilled yet they're going around limping on two different opinions, voting and supporting human government and at the same time expecting all the goodies God promised those who patiently waited for him.

God won't answer them because they're like the twisted and faithless generation, so they can't explain why God is not performing the miracles just as they read in the Bible!

Thanks!
I am not interested in subjecting myself to a god because it can perform miracles, that is not the point. This is an inquiry into why these so called miracles are not readily apparent. The Bible says that an angel used to disturb a pool and the first person who goes into it after the disturbance will be healed, no faith or genuflections required. Where is such a thing today?

"Foolish" is an adjective. One can behave foolish or childish or insanely without being actually a fool or a child or insane.
Being a fool like(in perspective) the fellow put it is a biblical condition not necessarily intellectual. A fool is a person, noun or abiding position and state. Except it's a great fool, there's no greatness to be desired in a fool. It is wisdom that leads to greatness.
So an atheist who is a billionaire or a renowned scientist or a head of state or a magnanimous philanthropist is not great because according to your bible they are a fool? How does that make sense?

Oh, in your line of reasoning among other things, you said "Yes I think I am special enough for special visitation." That was one of the things that prompted me to say that "Miracles are not guarantees of people loving God or going to Heaven or pleasing God. "

Children of God already love Him and obey Him, so in their case, they do not exactly need miracles FOR them to love or obey Him like you may suppose. Many children of God also testify every single week about God's miracles to them and around them, do you believe them? For instance, we both know the popular pastor's wife who says God healed her of cancer. Do you believe her?
The point is that God's children are not complaining about not having or seeing miracles. They say that God is a miracle working God. You are the one who is skeptical about it, not them. If you need a miracle to believe God, Jesus and millions of believers will simply tell you others did not see and yet believe and are blessed. Clear?
I don't need a miracle to believe in a god because belief I think is a useless proposition. If the god exists and is going to act then I don't see how belief alters that. Nor do I believe these are miracles because they happen to people regardless of their beliefs so I don't believe them when they say a god healed them. Sure it could be determined if the ailment is indeed gone but I am not convinced that their attribution to a god is correct.

Summarily, when I point out that there has been no record of a regrown amputees limb, I highlight how the attribution to your god, immense cosmic powers seems at odds with the state of affairs. So I ask why? Are you saying none of the people that are Christians with amputated limbs are really children of your god? Are you saying none of them was worthy of having their limbs restored, even children who had congenital defects? These questions have never been answered satisfactorily.

Being foolish is different from being a fool. You of all people should know that. Being childish is different from being a child.
You simply trying to stretch the semantics for no apparent gain. You are fool when you act foolishly.

fool
/fuːl/
noun

a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person.

Again my question is how does being a fool aka acting foolishly stop one from being considered great?

Don't be deceived, this people know they'll be prejudiced so they'll be acting utterly good (as a self defense) in antecepation. That's just a gimmick my dear. They're only good at antecepating argument - baseless arguments of course, and finding their fellow atey to support them. God will deliver them when he gets their time
Better to act good as a self defense mechanism than to be nasty in the name of your god.

What greatness is there in a child who deny the existence of his/her parents. God called anyone who disbelieve or deny his existence as fools, and a fool isn't a great person by any standard.
We will all be foolish one way or another at some point in our lives. What makes you think foolishness stops one from being great? Almost all your bible heros were foolish at some point according to their stories, yet you'll still call them great.

As an atheist the person's religious affiliation takes a back seat to their character and attitude. I am married to a Christian and to me it doesn't matter however I do know that some decisions would have been different if she was an atheist as well.

smart1204:
Hi everyone, I'm a 20 year old male student in college of medicine UNN, enugu campus. This is
my problem.

I get aroused by close body contact with ladies. example:

Sitting beside a lady around my age or so makes me get an erection. Even though I have MOSTLY but not totally conquered this by fighting it in my mind.

The remaining ones I've sincerely tried and not being able to overcome are:

1. when I give a female friend front hug without any ulterior motive in mind, I start to get an erection (This has happened severally and made me stop hugging ladies).

2. when standing in a crowded place like 2 submit a script or enter a class. If ladies buttocks are pressed against groin and/or their breasts on my body, I start to get an embarrassing erection even though I actually hate it and have nothing in mind. This happens to the point I have to place my hand to cover it or prevent it.

Pls, I'm a technical virgin and have made up my mind to remain celibate till marriage. I try my best not to lust after women or sexual objectify them.

PLEASE HELP ME DEAR FRIENDS.
This is normal for a 20 year old virgin. You are experiencing a normal surge off hormones. In time past you at the prime age for fathering children. suppression of your natural sexual urges makes it even more explosive. There are ways to help yourself like participating rigorously in sports and other physical strenuous activities however you will still only be merely suppressing those urges and may explode out in a way that your didn't expect.

How many times do you have to be told this. Miracles are not guarantees of people loving God or going to Heaven or pleasing God. Ask Moses followers to the Corinthian church. You should stop asking the same thing at intervals.
You'll not give your child food because it's not a guarantee that your child will love you. You'll not take your child to the hospital because it's not a guarantee that your child will be obedient to you. Such a parent will be arrested and the child removed from their care cos they obviously don't know what it means to be a parent.

Hello guys, how are you doing. so I posted some days back how my girlfriend persuaded me to invest in an online ponzi scheme and I didn't give in.

Well she called me back to apologise and said she is sorry. I forgave her and things came back to normal. she came to spend the weekend at my place areived on Friday we talked, gisted and all that.

She left on Sunday morning said she has church program to attend. I was taking a nap on Sunday afternoon when the sound of alert message from my bank came in I thought I was still dreaming I saw 20k debit alert 6 times (120k).

To be Frank I almost developed and hear attack. I quickly blocked my line via my bank app. I thought my atm has been misplaced.

I was still searching my room for my ATM card when my girlfriend call came in. she told me she withdrew the money(she knows my pin) and she wants to use it for the same ponzi scheme she talked about. she said why will i leave money Idle in my account when sha can make use of it.

I was so dumbfounded to be sincere, I got so angry took my keys and drove to her place her neigbour said they haven't seen her. called her line again she said I shouldn't bother going to her house that she wont be sleeping home for a while now.

She said I should replace the money with all the good times she has had with me. I'm very angry right now and I dont care what happens. I'm going to the police station tomorrow morning to report this case but how do I convince them she did it since she took the money from my ATM I want a strong evidence against her. I have informed her sister and her sister said any move I take she is in support. apparently she has done the same to her sis in the last.
Why the heck did she have your ATM pin?

You most certainly did. No where here did I make the argument that his inability to restore amputated limbs indicates he doesn't exist.

Anyway, I still stand by and with and on my statement that

"If you go babalawo and E no work, U no go comot for there?" grin

However, my Answer here changes BECAUSE, if babalawo has power, it is because it is or was GIVEN TO HIM! like Distribution Companies (Discos)

Power does not belong to him and he will not have power, if it is not supplied and like Discos, if Power is not Supplied, they will not be able to give Power. grin

But this is not So with God, Creator of All creations and The God of Abraham! He is The Repository, Depository, Refinery, Shipper and Depot of POWER!

And He is The Sole Owner, Producer and Supplier of Power like NEPA in the 1980s.

So, thus, you either have to follow His Procedure to get His Goods and Power, or you shall have to go and buy the "goods" from "Black Market" grin (which you already know that it is not a good place to go) or you starve!

But the choice is Always yours to choose and make.

Thus, I counsel and advice that you Follow Procedure and Established Due Process As given by The Sole Proprietor of Power. grin

The True and Original Power Holding and Giving Authority! grin grin
Yeah so like NEPA your god always has power failure issues. Can't cure childhood cancer, can't cure congenital birth defects, can't heal amputees. Instead he requires apologists like you to come and make excuses.
